By industry

Specific occupational safety and health risk factors vary depending on the specific sector and industry. Construction workers might be particularly at risk of falls, for instance, whereas fishermen might be particularly at risk of drowning. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies the fishing, aviation, lumber, metalworking, agriculture, mining and transportation industries as among some of the more dangerous for workers. Similarly psychosocial risks such as workplace violence are more pronounced for certain occupational groups such as health care employees, police, correctional officers and teachers.

  1. fatores de risco e também de segurança variam de acordo com o setor com que se trabalha. Dessa maneira é importante analisar os riscos comuns a determinadas atividades, e os mais frequente a cada uma delas. É importante também, relatar os riscos psicossociais que estão presentes geralmente em todos os ambientes, principalmente nos grupos de profissionais voltados a saúde, policiais, professores, dentre outros.
